The Old-Fashioned Doctor.

Oh, don't you remember the old-fashioned
Who when we were children, would enter
the room,
And, looking as wise as an owl or a proctor,
would frighten and fill us with thoughts of
the tomb?
He'd stalk to our cribside and order us
gruffly
To stick out our tongue, which we'd do with
such dread,
And give, while he handled our pulses so
roughly,
And then, while he listened to mothers de-
scription
Of things we had eaten and what we had
He grimly would write his old Latin pre-
scription,
For nastiest medicines under the sun.
Those horrible dosesl How mother would
And beg us, and buy us to take 'em in
And Oh how we struggled when father would
And squeeze shut our noses regardless of
pain
And when forced to open our mouths, quickly
mother
Would shove in a spoonful that strangled US
We spluttered it out-iust in time for an
other
Its vile, deathly tastes in our memory
still.
Thank goodness that old-fashioned dosing is
ended.
With sweet candy pellets and powders in
lieu,
The sweet little toddlers do take 'em SO
splendid
That even the well ones oil cry for 'em too.
